NON-REFILLAB LE B O TTLE Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Marcil 1e, 1909.

` Application led August 10, 1908. Serial No. 447,736.

To all whom 'it may concern.'

Be it known that I, ARTHUR A. JOHNSON, a subject of the King of Great Britain, and a resident of the city of New York, Flushing, borough of Queens, in the county of Queens and State of New Yorlg have invented a new and Improved Non-Refillable Bottle, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to non-reiillable bottles, and the object of the invention is to produce a bottle of very simple construction which can be constructed without the' em ployment of metal parts or complicated valves, but which will operate effectively to prevent the re-iilling of the bottle.

The invention consists in the construction and combination of parts to be more fully described hereinafter and particularly set forth in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specilication, in which drawings like characters of reference indicate like parts throughout the views, and in which- Figure l is a vertical central section through a bottle constructed according to my invention Fig. 2 is a view similar' to Fig. 1, but showing the bottle inverted, and Fig. 3 is a vertical section through the base of the bottle and through the valve, and taken in a plane substantially at right angles to the plane of Fig. l.

Referring more particularlyT to the parts, l represents the body of the bottle having a main chamber or reservoir 2 in which the contents of the bottle is held. This main chamber of the bottle is cylindrical in form. At one side the body of the bottle lis provided with a neck or duct 3 which extends from the base thereof to the upper end of the bottle, and projects beyond the pper end of the bottle to form a pouring nipple 3a. This neck is slightly enlarged, as indicated at 4,

below which noint the neck connects with a valve chamber 5 which is formed just below the main chamber 2, and connected with the main chamber through a port or opening 6. Below this port or opening 6 a seat 7 is formed for a ball valve 8, and from this seat '7 the walls of the valve chamber 5 diverge downwardly as indicated. The lower part of the valve chamber is connected through the extremity of the neck by means of a narrow slit or slot 9, which is of smaller dimension than the ball valve 8. Under the central axis of the valve seat 7 the basev of the bottle is provided with an opening l0,

through which the bottle is filled and through which the valve is inserted. After the bottle hasl been iilled and the valve has been placed in position, a cork or stopper l1 is inserted in the opening` so as to close it, and this stopper' 1s sealed inplace by means of a plug l2 of glass, which is fused into the base of the bottle, or some suitable cement composition, as shown. The valve S is made of any light, buoyant material', such as cork or wood, or it may be hollow and formed of rubber. The nipple 8a of the bottle is closed quantity of fluid within the neck to be rey plenished.

Having thus described my invention, what l claim as new and desire to secure by Letters :Patent is: f

l. A non-reiillable bottle'having a reservoir, a valvechamber formed below the same and hai/*ing a seat in the upper part thereof, and a buoyant valve adapted to come upon said seat by an upward movement and retained in thevalve chamber, said bottle having a duct extending down the side thereof and communicating with said valve chamber. 1 i

2. A non-reiillable bottle having a reser- Voir, a valve chamber formed below the same and having a seat in the upper part thereof, a buoyant ball valve Yadapted to come upon said seat by an upward movement and retained in the vvalve chamber, said bottle having a neck extending down the side thereof and communicating with the valve chamber, said bottle having an opening in the base thereof under said valve chamber, and a plug fused in said opening.

3. A non-reiillable bottle having a reservoir, and an opening in the lower end thereof, a valve chamber formed below said opening having a seat in the upper portion thereof, the walls of saidvvalve chamber diverging outwardly in a downward direction, a neck passing down the side of said bottle, the wall of said valve chamber on the side adjacent to said neck having a slot therethrough opening' eonnnunieation with said neck,V and a buoyant ball valve adapted to come upon In testimony whereof I have signed my name to thls speoroatlon in the presence o' said seat by an upward movement and of two subscribing Witnesses.

greater diameter than the Width of Said slot, whereby said Valve chamber retains said Valve, said bottle having a plug fused n the base thereof retaining said Valve.
